About the adventure
In our one-shot adventure "Drowned," you'll be looking for vital pieces from a lost settlement to put a stop to preachers from below flooding heavens with salt water and brine. Ready to explore something different? Heart: The City Beneath is a system that turns dungeon crawling on its head. Instead of treasure-hunting heroes, you'll play desperate, obsessed "delvers" - broken people drawn into a surreal nightmare realm in pursuit of impossible desires. Join us for a narrative first fever dream! Content note: This game explores themes of obsession, transformation, and personal sacrifice in a surreal horror setting.

About me
I'm passionate about collaborative storytelling where player choices shape the world and dice create unforgettable moments. Every campaign becomes a unique story that emerges from the intersection of player creativity, world-building, and those thrilling moments when fate takes the wheel.

How Nodra creates a safe table
✔ Lines and Veils are key; we strictly follow them, combined with X, N, O cards for moments we may be pushing your boundaries. ✔ Tabletop role-playing games are meant to be an escape from the troubles of our daily lives. Members of the party are expected to work as a team while being open and respectful to all. Real-world prejudices, such as racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, are NOT acceptable and will lead to your removal.
